Yes... that's me... yet another person to add their voice to the "my strategy won't place trades" chorus. I'm connected to a live CQG feed and I'm in SIM mode. I'm also working strictly in the wizard.
I've looked into the various reasons this could be happening, and I've gone down the list... and now... I'm at a dead end... the only thing I can imagine now is maybe the strategy is waiting for a "flat" condition which never occurs? (although I've not placed a "marketPosition == flat" check within the conditions pane of the wizard).
I'm not getting any error messages in the Log tab, and the output window is not telling me anything either.
The setup for the strategy itself is very simple:
RSI Avg line is < n
RSI Main line CrossAbove n
EnterLong
Draw a green dot below entry bar
For short sells...
RSI Avg line is > n
RSI Main line CrossBelow n
EnterShort
Draw a red dot above entry bar
There are no other conditions. I get the dots drawn, but no order placed, and no error messages anywhere.
I've attached screenshots of my setup.
Can a kind, knowledgeable, NinjaTrader expert please have a quick look at these and let me know if maybe there's some setting I may be missing, or which can be more correctly configured?
Again... the strategy trades if I have the Options section set to "Immediately submit live working historical orders." But, if I have "wait until flat" selected, the strategy never places an order, and the strategy tab just stays yellow... even though it is getting trade setups, and placing dots on the chart where the orders should go... it never places the orders.
I'm thinking maybe we should start a "troubleshooting" thread with all the possible reasons a strategy won't place trades. Kind of a checklist for people to follow. Just a thought.
Thank you again for all your help on this. It is very much appreciated.
